TRAILER

Film Diary Entry 6

EDITING

we have begun editing our film today. so far we are really happy with our footage. we feel the continuity of our trailer is really good and the music works well. we have had some troubles adding the fades to black however we soon figured out that we have to rendered the videos before we added the fade to blacks.

Magazine Cover

We have started making the magazine cover today. This is going really well and we are happy with the colours that we are using as we feel they are really bold and will grab the audiences attention. We have decided that we are going to use the dad as the main image in the poster, we feel this reflects his dominance and importance in the film.

poster

we are now making our poster. we have decided to base this around the poster for 'Skyfall'. We will use black white colours and use the same image that we are using in our magazine cover of the dad as we want it to be recognisable and this will further shows his importance in the film. in the background we have put a picture of London, we feel this will appeal to a large audience, such as an American audience that will be fascinated by London. Furthermore it highlights the genre of our film as it is conventional for action films to be set in large cities where the feeling that anything can happen and busy streets creates the right atmosphere for our genre.

Poster Research

 

the avengers poster has dull colours in the background and then a bold white text for the name of the film, this is something that is seen in alot of action posters and we will therefore incorporate this into our film poster. unlike other posters that i have looked at this features more than one person, however this is important for the avengers as they want to advertise all the different super heros that are in the film as they are big selling points. the name of characters in the film are highlighted at the top of the poster and this is also something we would like to do in our poster.

Magazine and Poster Research

the poster and magazine cover for the hobbit are interesteding because unlike other posters they do not match each other as well as other film posters and magazine covers. however the focus on features of the lord of the rings films and this will be recognisbale for the target audeince. the magazine cover, like others, is dark in the background and then has lighter bold writing of the film and this makes it stand out. there is the main character who is on the right hand side of the poster and in colour which also highlights his importance. in the background and the the left of the poster is another character that is well known for the lord of the rings films and this is another selling point. quotes from the film are also featured in the poster and this draws the audience in. The poster is landscape rather than portrait and this could be something that we consider for our poster. the name of the film is not featured in the poster but the long shot of the hobbit standing at the door is something that fans of the previous films will recognise and they will therefore be able to identify the film, this makes it more interesting and the focus is then put upon the release date. as our film is not part of a collection this is not something will will do for our poster as people will not be abel to identify the film.
